Was there on the Kop that night, incredible atmosphere. Got there early and right behind the goal, halfway up. United were front to back a great team but with a hard streak running through them,…no quarter was given or taken that night…! The Liverpool supporters, not for the first or last time, were unbelievable that night…will never forget it. Thanks for the upload!!
Another fantastic upload! I was only 6 at the time but I remember recording this MOTD and watching it the next morning so well! We didn't have Sky at the time so listened to the game on the radio, gagging to see all the goals. Great memories!
I remember as a child with my siblings listening to this match on radio city. We were floored by the 3 goals united scored and then came the comeback. A year or two later it was the first of the 4-3 wins at Anfield versus Newcastle and a year later the second 4-3 game. Radio city was the best coverage
What a game this was. I was 10 and the first proper atmosphere I experienced on the old Kop. I know we were shite back then but we were never humiliated on our own pitch by them as we have done to them many a time in the recent past. Boss this
I never went. I can't remember what I was up to in Jan 94 but I recall that I only went to a few games that season. I went to the Norwich game. The final one in front of the standing Kop. That was an enjoyable day. I was 20 back then. I remember quaffing plenty of brandy from a plastic bottle I'd smuggled into the ground with me. And smoking a few herbal cigarettes I'd rolled especially for the big occasion. It's fair to say I was intent on saying goodbye to the standing Kop with a buzz in my head and a smile on my face. Even Norwich's winner couldn't spoil the party that day. Jeremy Goss could not take the gloss off it.
Watching this on 28 Dec 2024. How things have changed and yet a mediocre Liverpool team were able to come back strong against a dominant United side. We showed fight which current United team doesn’t and AC Milan will find out in 2005. We always showed up especially when we played United. Stig came on to stig it to them and Razor levelled for us.
The 90s were a horrible era for Liverpool. We had the odd bit of success but Souness did a lot of damage. I think the disasters and European ban took their toll as well. The likes of Dicks, Scales, Clough and Ruddock were never Liverpool players, or shouldn't have been. Great upload though, cheers Dave👍
I think the board got complacent, every time a manager changed we feared the worst only to be given more success, when the commercial influence of the Premier League came in we didn't adapt well enough, we went on as usual but the game changed, we could have remained at the top if we'd utilised our notoriety on the commercial landscape, Souey didn't help with his too hasty cultural change, hey ho, lesson learned
@DjDown1984 Yes good points👍 Commercially we should have made much bigger inroads. MU sold themselves far better than we did and picked up fans we should have targeted. That's why Chelsea went big very fast, their rise coincided with the internet and mobile phones becoming a thing, by 2002 pretty much everyone had the internet and a mobile phone even the ones who initially resisted. I think it took until Klopp arrived to see our fanbase blow up again.
Chelsea went big because of Abramovich's money didn't they? It's a hard balance to retain integrity while maximising commercial income. Liverpool probably undersold themselves historically but it looks as though it may have gone the other way now, with so many overpriced corporate seats some of which end up empty.
@DaveWallerLFC Yeah the oil money built the team but I do think their rise commercially was massively helped by the internet and mobiles. They are huge in America and they have almost as many fans as us on socials which is mad. I agree with what else you said Dave. Despite us doing so well I am not really enjoying going to Anfield as much as I did, seeing people getting out of limos in suits before games then not actually watching the game in the corporate seats because they'd rather drink their champers is horrible. We just about have enough fans who are working class and keep the atmosphere going but I do feel we are bordering on selling out.
@@Return26-p4t Liverpool fan here. Football comes and goes in cycles, but the very top clubs always find a way back to the summit eventually. Forget the likes of City and Chelsea. United and Liverpool are the true thoroughbreds in England. You’re right. That 90’s Liverpool side was attractive to watch at times, but ultimately it had no back bone. Much like United now. I have no doubts whatsoever that United will be competing again within the next few years, and the cycle will continue.
@@primitivo4604 Newcastle supporter here, agreed. Fowler, Collymore, McManaman, McAteer, Barnes. Liverpool sides of the 90s were absolutely fabulous, no comparison to the awful bunch of louts Man U have been putting the shirt on the past few seasons.
I remember the game well my buddy jumped up of the couch and smashed the chandelier light when Ruddock got the equaliser 😅😅 we were all only 14 years of age.
Went to this game with my two mates, we was about 20, my last game on the Kop, its was rammed and dangerous that night, nearly lost my footing on the steps and went under a couple of times, had my big coat off and over my arm because it was so hot in middle of the Kop, ended up just dropping my coat 🥵 we was right by where one of the flares went off, great comeback, but United was a well better team than us by this stage, crowd lifted the team that night. 5-0 Vs Forest was my best game on the old Kop, we was unbelievable that night 👌
A great game of football. Could have easily been 7-7. Just watching John Barnes, even when he wasn't the imperious left winger he was at his best, you can just see him still controlling the game gliding through and passing brilliantly. Probably only behind Salah for the best player I've witnessed in the shirt.
This is one of the games he was alleged to have fixed. I think the story was that he made that save from Giggs by accident and it cost him a load of money. It doesn't make any sense, because it's clear that he dived to make the save after Giggs hit the shot, so it can't have been an accident. That, and the source of the story, make me doubt the validity of the claims, but probably only he knows.
He started well (2 goals on his debut and a few more in the next few games) and I think he was slightly unlucky with the timing that Fowler was ready to come in when his form dipped. He didn't get too many more chances up front after that.
@@DaveWallerLFC As I remember, Fowler got his nap-hand against Fulham in the League Cup earlier that season, but really established himself with that quickfire hat-trick against Arsenal the following campaign.
No, he was an automatic starter in 93/94 after scoring on his debut at Fulham. He was only out of the side when he had an injury, from what I remember.
After the game, Schmiecal had a fiery shouting match against Ferguson and he thought Ferguson will sacked him. Luckily things came calm down after that .
I genuinely think top flight football was at its most entertaining around this era. 100 mph, of blood and guts with a sprinkling of pure class from the likes of Clough, Barnes, Cantona and Giggs. Our game had to change though unfortunately. Mainly because continental sides leaned how to take the sting out of English teams and slow it right down.
Might be right to some degree. The tackles are gone but the technical side has come on leaps and bounds. Every player needs to be a technically brilliant player. Yes the tackles are none existent now but players aren’t getting snapped.
@ Yeah you’re right. Whether or not today’s Premier League is as entertaining as it was back then I’d debatable, but it’s certainly a million miles away in terms of technique and athleticism. Julian Dicks would be fortunate to make a career in League one these days.
@@peterlpool1387 Disagree. I think Rob Jones, Barnes, Fowler and even Redknapp would hold their own…. Providing they were on a par in terms of nutrition and gym work.
My brother in the crowd at the start with face paint 😂 they was great days total different world back then, the tables have turned but we still put up a good fight at the time unlike the current Manchester United team getting humiliated and high scorelines, long may it continue
Only other time I recall BBC doing this impromtu extended highlights show was after the first Newcastle 4-3. Must have been some weird rights loophole they were able to exploit but only twice!
Man United were a mirror image of Ferguson. Horrible, snide and never give up. Liverpool were weak, not good enough and lacked any fight. The crowd got them back that night.
Redknapp was a class player by 1996…he could spray passes like Xavi Alonso. Would’ve been England regular but then started to get niggling injuries. Always in and out of team . By 1998 young Gerrard turned up.
A fantastic game....but of cource by this time in the mid-1990s....liverpool thanks to souness, had become an below average team....whilst man utd under fergie were now the dominate force of english football, and sadly for us kopites ...it would be decades before our club would become a force again
Before MONEY ruined the GAME and no PLASTIC GLORYHUNTERS and PEOPLE don't realise how close MANCHESTER is too LIVERPOOL it's only down the EAST LANCS 30-40 MINUTES away..
I don't understand what the relevance of the distance between the cities is, in your comment. It's a local rivalry between teams from cities that are in competition with each other in other ways too.

A true classic i remember a nine year old me watching these very highlights
I recall feeling physically sick at 0-3. Turned into one of the games of the generation. Incredible fightback
Precursor to 2005 champs league final later.
I recall feeling ecstatic at 3-0 & then again when we won the double that season
Seem to remember Razor winding Cantona up by tucking his collar down time and again.Rob Jones was a great right back.
I remember taping this onto vhs off me mates sky sports which our family couldn't afford, I remember this game inside out minute for minute

We put up a good fight at the time in those days, nowhere near as bad as utd have been last few years

The intensity, the rawness and the atmosphere. Football has defo lost something over the past 30 years.
What a game and incredible atmosphere, has there been a better atmosphere for this fixture from both sets of fans at Anfield ? 85 milk cup maybe?

Those two goals were the only thing that I remember about Nigel Clough in a Liverpool shirt.

Look how beat up the field was then .
Shame it didn't work out for Clough in a Reds jersey.
Was there,1st 30 mins was embarrassing but the comeback was great.
Weren't a great side that Liverpool vintage
' well ye know ' Steve Bruce got the first !
Man United were a mirror image of Ferguson. Horrible, snide and never give up. Liverpool were weak, not good enough and lacked any fight. The crowd got them back that night.
The players started the fight back, as it was pretty quiet at 0-3. Joint effort after that I'd say.
Surprising given the personality of graeme souness
@Evemeister12 yes, but he didn't seem able to get the players to play for him.
Jamie Redknapp is more a Hottenham Totspurs player rather than a Liverpool FC player.
Redknapp was a class player by 1996…he could spray passes like Xavi Alonso. Would’ve been England regular but then started to get niggling injuries. Always in and out of team . By 1998 young Gerrard turned up.
Good times
Wow they actual quality of the match is terrible, both teams would be relegated in todays premier league
The chip from Giggs, the cross from Bjørnebye, the block from Jones, the tackle from Bruce. Real lack of quality.
Liverpool 18 Man united 8 😂😂😂
We have caught up since then 😂
A fantastic game....but of cource by this time in the mid-1990s....liverpool thanks to souness, had become an below average team....whilst man utd under fergie were now the dominate force of english football, and sadly for us kopites ...it would be decades before our club would become a force again
Below average team fighting back against superior team. We showed more fight and backbone than current United team.
Liverpool fans flying Union Flags! Now they're larping as Celtic fans.
